Big Bens non Clio

Lots of VERY good work happened here while I've been away mate. So glad you stuck with it and turned it into a proper beast rather than letting it go. We all have little wobbles sometimes. It's how you come out of them that matters, and you've come out of yours brilliantly!

Scorpion exhaust fitted like a glove. Sounds deeper and louder which is what I was after.
Map didn’t need much tweaking but still gained 4bhp & 14lb/ft which is noticeable.
Expensive purchase if I’m honest for what I’ve gained over my sold 2.5” system but any future big engine mods are now an option!

Thanks for looking

I know you've probably mentioned it else where. Are you running an up rated FMIC to go with the exhaust? if so what did you go with? Guessing the next logical step would be a 250 turbo to help it flow at the top end a little more?

Yes a Forge as Pav said. The next logical step is to stop spending!!

Forged internals needed if I’m getting a better flowing top end turbo. That is a big jump that I’m not considering atm.
Be interesting to see what you think of her at Spa...

Stripped out rear and cage too?

Oh stop rubbing it in with your not being made up with 14lb/ft just from fitting an exhaust! Some of us would LOVE that!!!

Tempted but don’t want an out and out track car at the minute

Stripping weight is an all or nothing thing huh? If you're going to do it you need to do everything. And you're straight into full blown track car territory really. But my god the car feels so good when it's lightweight.

Still a road car at the minute albeit a feisty one. As you say it’s all or nothing and it’s not on my mind.
I really enjoy a Sunday drive out or a meet up and thats almost impossible in a stripped out racer imo

Exactly mate. If you use it on the road a lot, it's a very hardcore step to make!
